Roasted Asparagus with a Dijon-Beer Sauce

Pin It

To go along with the chicken dish I made the other day, I made some roasted asparagus with a similar sauce. You know, to compliment the dish. And because I already had all the ingredients out and was feeling lazy. Beer, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic. Basically the best ingredients ever on one of my favorite vegetables. Enjoy!

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside.
